ok, so click on the link below. the site is in a foriegn languange
so i will explain what to do if you can only read english (like me).

pick a two digit number in your head, then add those
together and what ever number you get subtract that
from the original two digit number you picked then
find that number your left with and its object in the list and click
on the blue button. the fuckin thing will read your
mind and that object will appear? WTF

erxample - 23 - 2 + 3 = 5 - - - 23 - 5 = 18

It's not that exciting. The shapes change everytime you do it. So to use the example on the screen (27) click the ball - the shape appears. Do it again. The shape at 27 will be different this time....

There's only so many numbers you can create with those maths ... and it's all based on the 9 times table.... 9, 18, 27,36,45,54 etc.

i just do not get how it narrows it down to the number you are thinking everytime, please, i hate not knowing, fill me in

no matter what numbers you choose to start with there are only a handful of answers you're going to get, every single time you'll always get one of those same answers, and you'll notice that all of those have the same graphic linked to them.

the way it confuses you is that they scrable the graphics each time you play.

I haven't found all the numbers but you'll notice that 18, 27, 9, 5, 4, and lots more have the same graphic. and using that math you're always going to get one of those answers.

I saw an English version of this last year. It worked that whatever number you pick, after you have done their math on it you always ended up with 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81 or 90. And all those numbers shared the same symbol with each other, even though it changes each time.
What was funny was the girl who put me onto it showed it to her mother, who said it works because "they read the symbol off your retina"....
